For my VW GTI, I look out for deals on castrol and Mobil 1.

In terms of BITOG and other forums, I've seen so much mixed advice that I just keep it safe and stick to the slightly more expensive VW spec'd 5W-40 oils that my mk6 GTI manual specifies.

If anyone needs VW508, Mobil 1 0W-20 ESP X2 is 508 certified and about $27 for the 5qt at wally, wait for rebates if you can.
Without sending ppl down the BITOG rabbithole....
Always check the bottom of the jug for sediment, if there is any (usually off white) then the additives have fallen out of suspension. You should plan for an early oil change.
Project Farm is good for most things, BUT, he does use the one armed bandit for the oil test.... that's the only issue I have with his tests. You can run shampoo on that bearing wear test and get good results. That's why late night additive infomercials use them.
IF you are worried about oil life, get it tested at oil change or pull a sample from the dipstick tube. Blackstone has a standard oil analysis for $35, multiple other companies as well. The additive pack for VW508 will last approx 9000miles based on how I drive. 10k oil change isn't that insane if you don't take short trips, cruise control on the highway for most of the miles. Obviously, if you only take short trips to the market, sunday service, your oil will not last as long. That's what used oil analysis will help you determine when to change.
That said, 6 month change will service most drivers well and a good balance between cost and engine protection.
YMMV. literally.

FCP only list European cars but cross reference part numbers and you'll be surprised that many parts are compatible with Asian cars too.
